A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby, bilking their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry; the show is a smash hit!
The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive “Springtime For Hitler”), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.
Performances: July 24-26 and July 31-August 2

Three actors. Thirty-seven plays. Ninety minutes. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) was London’s longest-running comedy – 10 years in the West End at the Criterion Theatre!
Join three madcap med in tights as they bring to modern audiences all of Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories and Tragedies by way of the Marx Brothers, the Three Stooges, and Monty Python. This fourth wall-breaking, sidesplitting comedy is an irreverent romp through the works of the greatest playwright of all time, with none of the intimidation of studying his work in English Class. A revised and up-to-date version of the original 1987 hit, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) has become a favorite of American and European audiences alike.
Performances: January 16-17, 23-25

Thibodaux Playhouse, Inc. was founded in 1960 as a non-profit community theatre dedicated to the planning, promotion, and production of plays for the citizens of Thibodaux and surrounding areas. Nearly five and a half decades later, on July 11, 2013, Mayor Tommy Eschete proclaimed Thibodaux Playhouse, Inc. Thibodaux’s official community theatre.

Run by an elected Board of Directors and supported through the dedication of its volunteers, Thibodaux Playhouse currently offers three regularly staged productions and one musical per season. The Playhouse additionally hosts two Children’s Musical Workshops through its outreach program. By providing a quality educational opportunity within a nurturing environment, Thibodaux Playhouse encourages area youth to embrace the arts while displaying and developing their talent.

Now in its 55th year, Thibodaux Playhouse continues to work with community members to ensure that the art of theatre will continue to be an active and vibrant part of the Thibodaux area.

A Place to Call Home

Thibodaux Playhouse, Inc. was founded in 1960 as a non-profit community theatre for the purpose of producing and performing plays for the benefit of the citizens of Thibodaux and surrounding areas.

Over its 55 year history, Thibodaux Playhouse has produced over 200 plays and performed at various venues including Nicholls State University (1960-67), the Old Park Inn Restaurant (1967-73), the Old Dixie Movie Theatre (1973-83), and the Percy-Lobdell Building (1983-92). That building became part of the Martha Sowell Utley Memorial Community Center and, later, a Branch of the National Park Service. Thibodaux Playhouse has been the principal resident of the Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center Theatre, a part of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park & Preserve, since 1992. The bulk of its planning and ensuing rehearsals, however, take place off site at Thibodaux Playhouse Headquarters located at 1120 Caroline Street.

On March 29, 2014, the Playhouse launched its ambitious vision – the construction of a single facility that would grant our community theatre unlimited access and greater flexibility in its goal to expand the performing arts while providing its patrons with an enhanced theatre experience.
